A teaching about love (English)

For Maria Pethes

Planets can explode,
The universe's billion-year order
can become entangled,
but a "primo amore"
- the elemental, primordial love -
will soar,
even in de-populated outer space
like the spirit of God over the waters.

And if it locates stirring life
anywhere in the universe,
it immediately inhabits it,
because only in the glowing spring of mortals
can immortal love
bear flowers of wondrous beauty.
